A Guide to Mexico by Global Holidays

Before you book your holiday to Mexico you need to know the facts about Mexico before you book. The following guide on Mexico is designed to help you decide whether Mexico is the holiday destination for you.

The two main tourist areas for beach holidays in Mexico are - Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific Coast and Cancun on the Caribbean coast.

Puerto Vallarta is set against the tropical backdrop of the Sierra Madre Mountains and it exudes Mexican character and charm retained from its early days as a small fishing village.

Whilst the old town retains much of its Mexican architecture set against cobbled street, a few kilometres away the vibrant marina boasts modern bars and a variety of restaurants.

Cancun is a modern, purpose built resort with top class tourist facilities and a vibrant atmosphere drawing from strong American influences. Cancun is ideally located to explore the ancient ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza and it has 12 miles of glorious white sandy beaches.

One of the best hotels in the Cancun area is the Moon Palace Resort and Global Holidays can offer fantastic prices on the Moon Palace Sunrise and the Moon Palace Golf Resort.

A popular, adults only hotel, is the Blue Bay Getaway Hotel. Call Global Holidays on 0870 125 2960 for a price on this hotel.

Another top quality 5 star hotel to consider your holiday at is the Riu Yucatan Hotel. Most of the hotels in Mexico are All Inclusive hotels. This means that all drinks, food and activities are included in the price of your holiday.

The divers' paradise of Cozumel, is an island 70 km south of Cancun, its Palancar Reef made famous by Jacques Cousteau has become one the world's top dive sites. A holiday in Mexico is not complete without a stay in Cancun.

In Mexico, every day could be an adventure for your taste buds, try to sample some of the regional or local specialties like Yucatan's "sopa de lima" - chicken soup with tortilla and a squeeze of lime juice. With over 25 brands of beer brewed in Mexico alone to choose from a good start would be the local Carta Clara lager or the dark Leon Negro. To keep you from dehydrating after trying out all those different beers try one the many fresh fruit and vegetable juices, milkshakes or flavoured waters available.
